Objective Views On Exercise

There are tons of reasons to work out: for health, for physique, for skill, for ability, for comfort, for relaxation. Exercise is going to affect health in every single way, not only physically but mentally too.

For what purpose does one exercise? Telling someone to exercise will only entice resistance.

Demanding someone to exercise (like a P.E. teacher would) will only create feelings of confinement and loss of liberty. To get children actively involved in physical fitness, a more psychological approach is needed.

Explain the benefits of exercise down to the very core, the heart of exercising, which coincidently is the heart. Exercise above all else is going to benefit the heart.

Now from an objective stand point, anything that promotes life is considered to be good. That is as long as it does not take or subtract from anyone's own liberty.

Physical exercise meets those standards. It doesn't inhibit anyone's freedoms and at the same time it promotes life.

This may not be enough for the misconstrued minds of the ardent and lazy. They will stay in shell of self-refinement without considering the benefit of prolonged life.

Objectivism is set around the premise that life is good, and preserving what is good is a moral obligation. Those who do not think objectively about keeping their life in best condition possible, are going have a misconstrued mindset as to what life really is.

Though objectivist take it one step further, to the point where puritans and altruists dare not go. They say that we should be as selfishly involved with our life as possible.

There is some error in translation here. When the objectivist talks of life, what is really being referred is consciousness or the super ego (in the Freudian sense).

But puritans and altruists have a mindset that any selfish act is meant to fulfill a carnal desire. Objectivists do not deal with refraining from temptation; they are too busy actively working toward what they want.

So exercising for a glamorous body, in an objective sense, is in no way to be frowned upon. Desiring to be better is something that an objectivist doesn't think about; they only desire to be the best that they can be.

Other people's standings in no way influence the life or ideas of an objectivist. There are reasons for everyone to exercise.

Finding the right reason may take a while. Once there is a reason and a personal desire to benefit one's own self than true objective exercise can become a reality.

When this happens there is no need for motivational speakers. Practitioners are their own motivators.

Some will rely on people around them to move them from place to place. The objectivist will move himself.
